Speaking of these neumann's, I've noticed (and read that others also have noticed) that they are a fairly high-output mic, capable of overloading the input stage of some pre's... I've heard that some mp-2 users have had to turn the gain knobs all the way down, and still get a hot signal.
Before I run into these sorts of problems, I want to get some attenuators... is it worthwhile getting the switching ones with different attenuation settings? or if I was to get a pair with a fixed dB attenuation, what is a good amount? 10db, 20db?
Thanks for the help.
